“…During overwash and inundation, sediment transport is primarily directed toward the back‐barrier, creating washover fans that are critical to barrier island evolution over long time scales (decades to millenia; Donnelly et al., 2006). Modifications to barrier island topography during hurricanes, for example, breaching, can influence flooding dynamics and post‐storm beach recovery, as both water and sediment are exchanged between back‐barrier waterways, the nearshore, and the inner shelf (e.g., Cañizares & Irish, 2008; Defne et al., 2019; Gharagozlou et al., 2021; Miselis et al., 2016).…”

Morphological changes to barrier islands have long been understood and evaluated within the context of the Sallenger (2000) storm impact scale, which identifies regimes of storm-induced changes based on comparison of total water levels to the elevations of the dune toe and dune crest. Significant morphological changes to the nearshore, beach face and berm, dune, and back-barrier occur as ocean water levels increase through swash, collision, overwash, and inundation regimes (Sallenger, 2000). During collision, sediment is eroded from the dune toe and beach face and transported offshore, often accumulating in shore-parallel nearshore bars. During overwash and inundation, sediment transport is primarily directed toward the back-barrier, creating washover fans that are critical to barrier island evolution over long time scales (decades to millenia; Donnelly et al., 2006). Modifications to barrier island topography during hurricanes, for example, breaching, can influence flooding dynamics
